Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship boss Alan Gow has🍌 welcomed the announcement that MG is to return to the series this season.

The series' worst kept secret was confirmed today [Wednesday] with confirmation that multiple champions Triple Eight will fi🥃eld a pair of MG6 GTs built to NGTC regulations under the MG 🌠KX Momentum Racing banner.

Double champion Jason Plato will be partnered by Andy Neate in what is MG's fi🅷rst factory assault on the BTCC since 2003.

"This is fantastic news for all the fans who follow the BTCC, either in their hundreds of thousands trackside or in their vast millions watc𒊎hing on TV in both the UK and many other regions around the globe," Gow said. "MG is one of motoring's truly evocative names so its BTCC 🎐campaign will, I'm sure, really capture the public's imagination.

"This high-profile return to the forefront of competition in the BTCC is also cಞertain to prove highly effective in terms of marketing for MG and all of its partners, as well as delivering some great results ಞfor them on the track.

"This news has again underlined the great success of our NGTC regulations, enabl♛ing teams and manufacture𝕴rs such as MG to embark on a major BTCC programme in a far more cost-effective and competitive basis than before - hence the reason we have such a fabulous diversity of makes and models in our championship."
